Do we expect that (D) next to Manchin and Sinema's name to actually mean something, or, at the end of the day, is all this simply another team sport, where, as a fan, you root for a uniform no matter who is wearing it?

If the answer is the former, then Manchin and Sinema should be strongly encouraged to migrate to the political party (R) where their hearts obviously lie.

If the latter, then, what the hey! Let's just join hands with the "There's no difference between the two parties" crowd, shut our brains off, bend over and grab some ankle, and enjoy the ride.

Only after we hopefully get to replace a SCOTUS judge. OrlandoDem2 Dec 2021 #1
